Planning your space starts with three key measurements: length, width, and ceiling height. Pop-A-Shot recommends at least 8 feet in length for any home arcade basketball game, while double basket units like the Home Dual need 46 inches wide by 88 inches deep plus 84 to 96 inches of ceiling clearance. Single-hoop models require less width, making them perfect for hallways or smaller rooms where space is tight.
The right placement transforms your space into the perfect family arena. Position your game near a wall outlet for electronic scoring, and leave several feet of side clearance so multiple players can shoot simultaneously without bumping walls. A floor mat dampens bounce and sound, keeping the peace with neighbors while protecting your floors from enthusiastic rebounds. Check out the assembly guide for workspace tips during setup.
